    Yes, if the supreme court gives them the status of people, absolutely.

    Also, jail time, etc.

    Joe Biden has said some dumb things in the past, but he is absolutely right on target here.

    You realize that what Obama has done is actually more inline with the Tea Party cries for? Obama has practices small gov't here.

    He didn't pass a law. Didn't issue an executive order. He didn't threaten the BP. He didn't do anything but go to BP and ask them to take care of the people now, and BP agreed.

    What did that save - think of all the court processes, legal documentation, judges, back and forth - all that stuff that would have taken years and years. Isn't that "big" gov't? Wouldn't all that effort cost tax payers as well? Our court system takes money to run ya know and it ain't cheap.

    What obama has done will result in less gov't involvement and less bureaucracy.

    You'd think the small gov't folks would be happy.

    If I were Obama, I'd make a contribution to Joe Barton's campaign close to November just to get the news media to report it and remind voters what they'd be signing up for when they vote Republican.
